Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 , It is possible on the new Intel Macs if you use Apple's boot camp which allows you to boot directly into Windows XP. The emulation software on the old Power PC Macs is just too slow. > Hello all, > > Please excuse me because somewhere this question has already been > asked but I do not have > the answer. > > Can you use a Mac with a pendant and Bio Ex to train neurofeedback? > > Thanks in advance, > > > PS--Happy Holidays! > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Or, if on new Intel-based Mac, without rebooting you can run Windows XP in a virtual machine using products from: VMware Fusion (free beta) http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/fusion// or Parallels Workstation ($50 USD) http://www.parallels.com/ Happy New Year!

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Bonny, I did this - the HASP drivers were a little weird to get working properly, but they did work eventually (manually placing the correct driver files in the correct places and then re-running the install wizard), and I've had NO problems besides that. Search the archives of this group for my name for more details on the install, and i'd be happy to provide any Mac-specific pointers if you run into trouble. I've not tried Parallels or VM with - this was all using Boot Camp. I have a hunch BioEx training will run fine in Parallels in a MacBook Pro with tons of RAM if you aren't using lots of DVD or heavy animation driven training, but perhaps not in a MacBook. Either way it's kinda moot - Parallels can now open up your Boot Camp partitions, so you can set up a separate partition for Windows and boot into it directly if you want to train or simply open it in a Parallels window if you want to check settings or look at BioReview, etc., Good luck!
